I've just replaced rivets with nuts and bolts which will do fine for now but the strap plastic is knackered after reading up the how to info.. which is amazing btw (thank you whoever put the door card removal details on!)Paul (@depronman) makes excellent quality replacement check straps, I think he will be along shortly.

Yes, that is common, but most people (including me) are too frightened to try to release the rear section.
I just gave mine a tap as the front section just started to try and lift it. You need to lubricate the seal with the right type of grease (and just a bit of it) or it will stick again.
Even after mine was released it used to make a "gritty" noise when it opened, that was the seals sticking again, all lubed up now and working fine and silent (but the genuine grease from a dealer is not cheap!)

I assume you are referring to the OSS. You are fortunate in that you are not that from Kleynie who offers OSS repairs and service, something worth considering.the rear sections opens?!?!
Is it the same switch that opens the front?
I had no idea
Same as here!
The car is next to an empty garage but because of the good weather I decided to do it outside ?Same as here!
Once the front section has opened fully it then pushes the rear section open (same press of the same switch)the rear sections opens?!?!
